[REPORTED]Water Flickering (NOT screen flickering)

I'm getting the water flickering really badly.

 

Flying the F-18 in the Persian Gulf using an MSI 1080ti with Nvidia 436.48 on the latest OB 2.5.5.36986.

I noticed the flicker, I thought it might be because I'm running a Commodore 64... Probably was on the aerobatics server. Mildly annoying, not a show stopper.

 

Dynamic weather hypothesis:

Aerobatics server definitely has "weather".

Tried an offline no-weather replay - no flicker.

Yes I have water flickering too. Doesn't seem to always happen and may be graphics settings specific.

I had sea flickering only with dynamic weather, not with static (I edit the weather in all missions due cloud disappearing and stuttering with static weather...)

 

So with that settings, dynamic, I had the sea flickering. Which is solved putting "res. of cockpit displays" to oneframe

ah ok, its not specified "1 frame".

i tried ALL the configs there, tried also setting water texture to low, medium and high.

i still have water flickering at certain times of day (usually morning and evening), just by inside cockpit , external views have no problems.

any solution to this ?

thanks

well, the bug was there in 2.5.5 , and is still here in 2.5.6

 

maybe its just me, but for me its a major issue, and still no fix ?

any suggestions?

 

 

Can you attach your options.lua and a short track replay showing this.

 

thanks

its a piece of cake the reproduction

 

- Get any flickering mission with dynamic weather

- open in ME

- ad a name and save weather and time

- create new mission

- load saved weather and time

- add a plane

- play, and fly at least 5 minutes over sea

 

After you see the flickerings in my track near Batumi in su25t cockpit

"take control" and "select slot" Su-27 at Sukhumi and do experiment in that region

sorry for the delay, i found just now you answered me (and i'm really happy someone cares of my problem).

 

here is the short track file and the options.lua .

keep in mind that track is just about one easy and clearly visible bug, but i had also ground lights flickering, some ground textures, and also without fog, with both dynamic weather and static weather.

 

here a video of what i actually see, just to be sure we're seeing the same thing:

Potential fix in next open beta patch, let me know how you get on after.

 

For me all flicker has gone now when I tested.

 

thanks

hello, i got an update Yesterday evening 20/02/2020 , dont know if its the update you were referring to, but flickering is here exactly the same.

 

plus, i found a disturbing problem, after Landing in Gudauta (but probably is the same for every other airport) , FPS went down from 60-70 to 30-35 , for no apparent reason.

was playing a mission with a friend, so i thinked was something strange, and made a plane spawn in an empty map in editor. there was just my plane in the Whole map, no scripts or everything.

exactly same result. FPS went down to 30-35.

its really bad for gameplay smooth.

you suggest to open another topic about that ?

Open a new topic your issue may be different

 

add as much info as possible including a track replay which shows the issue

 

 

thanks

ook, will do.

 

about flickering ?

was this update the one that should fix ?

i double checked by running the track i posted and playing again the mission...its exactly the same as before right now.

 

this issue is specifically about the sea and its surface.

 

If you have a different issue please post a track in a new thread and we will take a look

 

thanks
